I just copied my entire Fonts folder from Win7 Home Pre. boot to a
flash-drive and it stated it was copying 1,111 items and 485 MB in
size.  A lot of the were the .fon files though.

Did the Calibri Light fonts show up on your Win7 boot in LO 4.1.2.3?
Which Linux distro are you using to see that that font set showed up in
the font list?

Yes, it can be good to find a substitute for paid fonts in the free
fonts available, but some projects/publishers may require an exact font
name for the text.  Publishers are known to have a very small set of
fonts that can be used in the printed document/book/etc..

I have over 100,000 font files in my collection, so I know there are a
lot of free fonts available.  Of course, when I am required to use Adobe
fonts, I have a set of their library of fonts from the early 2000 era to
use.
